We will use the conversion formula between Fahrenheit and Celsius to convert this temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general formula for converting Fahrenheit (\u00b0F) to Celsius (\u00b0C) is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>C = \\frac{5}{9} (F &#8211; 32)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>(C) is the temperature in degrees Celsius.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(F) is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Converting 120\u00b0F to Celsius<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we will substitute (F = 120) into the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>C = \\frac{5}{9} (120 &#8211; 32)<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>C = \\frac{5}{9} \\times 88<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>C = \\frac{440}{9}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>C \\approx 48.89<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 120\u00b0F is approximately 48.89\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Interpreting the Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the bacteria cannot live at temperatures higher than 120\u00b0F, we can say that the maximum temperature at which bacteria can survive is 48.89\u00b0C. Therefore, the temperatures in Celsius where bacteria cannot survive are those <strong>greater than 48.89\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperatures greater than approximately <strong>48.89\u00b0C<\/strong> are too hot for bacteria to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius is linear, but we must use the conversion formula to accurately translate temperatures between the two scales. By converting 120\u00b0F to Celsius, we found that temperatures above 48.89\u00b0C are unsafe for bacterial survival.
